2015 Audi A3 1.4L Petrol · SN65 CTG

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its latest MOT on August 29 2025 with 41,858 miles. This result indicates an improving maintenance trend, as the defects identified in previous years have been addressed. While the 2024 test initially failed due to a fuel cap sealing device and brake issues, the subsequent clean sheet suggests that the current owner responded proactively to the safety-critical failures flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is significantly low for an eleven-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. Between August 2022 and August 2025, the car covered 10,835 miles, showing consistent but light usage. Such low mileage often results in less mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, though it can lead to accelerated degradation of rubber components and seals. The consistent intervals between annual tests suggest the car has been used regularly rather than left stationary for long periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system and suspension, as the history shows recurring pitting and scoring on brake discs across 2022, 2023, and 2024. The presence of fluctuating brakes in 2024 suggests the rotors may be thin or uneven due to low use cycles. Additionally, the nearside front track rod end dust cover damage noted in 2023 warrants a check to ensure no grease leakage or play has developed in the joint. Given the history of multiple cut tyres in 2023 and 2024, a thorough check of the current tyre sidewalls for structural damage is also necessary.
